Palestinian Churches Urge Action for Christian Schools
The Palestinian churches are calling on the international community to take immediate action to save the Christian schools in Jerusalem, after Israeli authorities prevented teachers and staff from accessing them. This has led to an open strike that threatens the continuation of the 2026/2027 academic year. The committee considers these Israeli measures an escalation that endangers Jerusalem's identity and children's right to education. It emphasizes that such policies are in violation of international law and United Nations resolutions, as well as the new Knesset law that bans the employment of graduates from Palestinian institutions. The committee urges international support to ensure the return of teachers and the reopening of schools through the issuance and renewal of permits, and to confront the violations that threaten the present and future of Christian education in Jerusalem.
